BunnyGo Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) You hold as West: 9864, 62, A532, T84 EW vulnerable, partner deals: 1H-(P)-P-(1S)2H-(3H)-P-(3S)P-(P*)-?? Do you agree with the first two passes? What do you do now? *this pass had a looong tank, if that affects your decision. edit: correct the auction to correctly display 1S instead of 2S.

qwery_hi Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Auction should have N balancing with 1S I think. This is always a pass by me. If partner can expect to make game opposite this hand, he should have opened 2C. You hold as West: 9864, 62, A532, T84 EW vulnerable, partner deals: 1H-(P)-P-(2S)2H-(3H)-P-(3S)P-(P*)-??

MrAce Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I can understand pass and reasonable. But i can't see myself passing with an Ace. Perhaps i bid too much :D I'd bid 1♠. Now that i didnt, what am i supposed to do here except than final pass ? I am passing now. I wld have passed w/o the hesitation also. After all pd opened 1♥ and competed over 1♠, there is no reason for me to think he has a giant hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfay Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 So if I'd responded 1♠, would the opponents be playing 3♠? Probably not. We'd be playing in hearts. Maybe I should protect our score. On the other hand, maybe we'd be playing in a game that goes down. Or 3♥ that goes down. I can't really know for sure but in that case it doesn't matter if I double them or not.

BunnyGo Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yes, at the table I was thinking along Kfay's line (perhaps because we talked before he posted). I usually don't pass with an Ace, but with 4 spades and partner bidding hearts, I wasn't concerned that partner could bid 2H if he wanted to on his own. When they bid 3 spades, I thought that we'd have stolen the contract in 2H if only I'd bid 1S, so I doubled. I thought it might be a matchpoint double to protect our 2H score, but I wanted to see what the forum thought. It appears I made a unique (read: bad) decision. We did end up setting in 2 tricks so it was good in this case. Here's the whole hand: [hv=pc=n&s=sak7h853dkq4cq953&w=s9864h62da532ct84&n=sqjt32hj9dt97ck62&e=s5hakqt74dj86caj7&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1hpp1s2h3hp3spp(tank)dppp]399|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
